Why Is Love So Hard Lyrics – Peyton Parrish

[Verse 1: Peyton Parrish]
Are you happy with the way our love is
Can I make it up to you
But you’ll see we’re no more better off without love we share
Pack your bags to leave
As you walking out to the front door

[Chorus: Peyton Parrish]
Will I fall over
Picking up pieces of you
Will I find closure with myself
Can I go any higher, higher, higher
Can I go any higher, higher, higher
Enough to catch my breath
[Post-Chorus]
(Enough to catch my breath)

[Verse 2: Adam Gontier]
Can you feel me when you say you’re lost
And the dark tries to pull me away from you
But I stay were no more better off without love we share
How did we end up here

[Chorus: Adam Gontier & Peyton Parrish, Both]
Will I fall over
Picking up pieces of you
Will I find closure with myself
Can I go any higher, higher, higher
Can I go any higher, higher, higher
Enough to catch my breath

[Bridge: Peyton Parrish & Adam Gontier]
Just hold on a little
Hold on a little longer
Hold on a little longer
Don’t let our love flatline
Why is love so hard
Why did you leave
Was it me

[Chorus: Peyton Parrish & Adam Gontier, Both]
Was I not there for you
Will I fall over
Picking up pieces of you
Will I find closure with myself
Can I go any higher, higher, higher
Can I go any higher, higher, higher
Enough to catch my breath

[Outro: Peyton Parrish & Adam Gontier]
Just hold on a little
Hold on a little longer
Hold on a little longer
Don’t let our love flatline
Why is love so hard
I’m losing my grip so low
Just hold on it won’t be long
